Kenjon Barner

Day 1 of the Super Bowl party here began with the Philadelphia Eagles stepping off their plane to a flurry of clicking cameras.

It continued at the Mall of America, near the airport, which swelled with football fans, most wearing green, as the team checked into the Raddison Blu, which is attached to the mall, the epicenter of all NFL activity this week.

There, some players could be spotted wandering around, getting used to their temporary digs for the next week.

The Eagles will face the New England Patriots, who don’t arrive until Monday, next Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, but the game really has already begun.
